Greetings all! I am a new AR-15 owner, having just built my first one this weekend (with the help of a fine gunsmith). On his recommendation, I went with the 6.5 Grendel for this fine weapon, and I figured I'd share it with everyone.
I've been a pistol guy most of my adult life, so when I say I'm new, I'm REALLY new to this world. My other rifles are an AK-47 and a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 chambered in .40.
I'm rather excited about my new baby.
I'll see if I can spit out some of the technical details now.
It uses a custom built Controlled Chaos Arms lower.
AR-Stoner chrome barrel, 18", 1:8 twist.
AR-Stoner Heli-port muzzle brake
Les Baer Custom bolt carrier and key
Yankee Hill Mfg quad rail
Mag-Pul grip
Vltor adjustable stock
I think that's about it. My future plans:
Need a scope. Will probably do a 3x9 at first; maybe something a little bit more powerful, but not much more.
I want to put a forward grip on there. Perhaps pick up a bipod at some point.
Rail covers. A definite must with this quad rail.
Iron sights... still considering that.
Sling
Hope to learn a lot about the 6.5 Grendel here on the forums!
